4. Place chicken in a large ovenproof skillet.
5. Pour 1 1/2 cups broth around chicken; bake for 1 hour or until juices run clear.
6. Remove chicken from skillet.
7. Remove and reserve broth mixture. Skim fat from surface of broth; discard.

9. Heat skillet over medium-high heat; add vermouth and cook 2 minutes.
10. Add broth mixture, bring to a boil; cook 1 minute or until slightly thick, stirring constantly. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon thyme and salt.Note: Vermouth is a fortified white wine flavored with a variety of herbs and spices. You may, however, use fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth in its place.
